Chapter 360: Chapter 360: It Seems I’m the Type Ye Xiu Likes

What? These four human traffickers were sent by Ye Xiu?

Shen Shijie’s face was filled with disbelief.

That detestable Ye Xiu! He acts one way on the surface and another in the shadows. He clearly said he would spare me and my parents, yet he sent people in the dead of night to capture and sell me.

”Feeling despair?” the leader of the ruffians laughed and waved his hand. ”Take Shen Monong away. Oh, her mother is quite attractive too. A bit old, but she could probably still fetch tens of thousands. Take her along.”

Instantly, one ruffian kicked Shen Shijie to the ground while two others grabbed Shen Monong and her mother, dragging them outside.

However, just as they opened the gallery door to leave, they saw a young man blocking the entrance.

”Get lost, or I’ll chop you to death,” the leader barked ferociously, though his heart was pounding. He was terrified Ye Xiu had called the authorities.

”You don’t even recognize me, yet you dare claim I sent you to capture Shen Monong?” Ye Xiu asked, his face like ice.

The four ruffians froze, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at Ye Xiu.

”You... you’re Ye Xiu?” the leader exclaimed, stumbling backward. The other three, still holding Shen Monong and her mother, also retreated.

The leader forced a laugh. ”So it’s Divine Doctor Ye! Haha, you must be here for revenge against the Shen family, right? Well, we were just helping you vent your anger, haha...”

SLAM!

Ye Xiu slammed his palm onto the ground in front of the leader, leaving a deep, seemingly bottomless palm print in the floor.

”Tell me the truth. Where were you planning to sell Shen Monong?” Ye Xiu said coldly, entering the gallery with Jin Lian and shutting the door. ”If you dare to lie, I’ll crush your skulls.”

Staring at the palm print on the ground, the four ruffians nearly wet themselves in fear.

THUD!

All four of them dropped to their knees.

”Divine Doctor Ye, spare us! I’ll talk, I’ll talk...” The leader, completely devoid of any courage to resist, stammered in terror, ”We... we were planning... planning to sell Shen Monong to the Skull Club.”

The Skull Club? I’ve never heard of that place.

”I’ve heard of the Skull Club,” Jin Lian said. ”It’s a very mysterious club that only admits elite gentlemen. You have to be recommended by an acquaintance; strangers can’t get in.”

”Tell me, what kind of place is the Skull Club?” Ye Xiu asked in a cold voice, lifting the leader’s chin with the tip of his foot.

”Yes, yes! It’s... it’s a place for rich men’s pleasure!” the leader shrieked in terror. ”The Skull Club has countless beautiful women, all kinds...”

Before he could even finish, Ye Xiu’s expression turned grim. More than anything, he despised the scum who trafficked people for illegal activities.

”Who is the owner of the Skull Club?” he asked.

”It’s Xiong Jun!” the leader replied.

”Xiong Ba’s grandson?”

”Yes!”

The Xiong Family really deserves to die! After the deaths of Xiong Ba, Xiong Shan, and Xiong Wu, the strongest one left was the Great Grandmaster Xiong Feng. I wasn’t planning to wipe them out completely. I never imagined that on top of helping the Shen Family with their dirty work, the Xiong Family was also secretly involved in human trafficking.

”Jin Lian, call the authorities,” Ye Xiu said after knocking the four ruffians unconscious. ”Have them secretly raid the Skull Club at once. Just tell them that I was the one who told you to call.”

”Oh, okay!” Jin Lian quickly made the call.

”Divine Doctor Ye, thank you. Thank you for saving our family again,” Shen Shijie said gratefully.

”Your family can’t survive in this country anymore. You should settle abroad,” Ye Xiu said, then left with Jin Lian.

Shen Monong was left utterly dispirited. From beginning to end, Ye Xiu hadn’t even given her a single glance.

”Why pretend to be drunk?” Jin Lian asked playfully once they were outside the gallery.

”I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Feeling a pang of guilt, Ye Xiu quickly changed the subject. ”Anyway, it’s getting late. You should head home, and I need to go too...”

Before Jin Lian could respond, he turned and ran.

A shy smile touched Jin Lian’s lips as she watched his retreating figure. It seems I’m his type.

Ye Xiu had nowhere to stay. Remembering he still had the keys to Ming Yue’s place, he headed there.

「The next morning.」

Just as Ye Xiu was about to leave, he opened the door to find the Eight Great National Protector War Gods planted firmly on his doorstep.

”How did you know I was staying here?” Ye Xiu asked, taken aback. ”And why are you eight here so early, looking like I owe you money? What’s going on?”

The expressions of the Eight Great National Protector War Gods were as grave as ancient ice, as if something terrible had happened.

”Turn on the television. You’ll understand why we’re here,” Qing Luan said.

Unable to guess what they were up to, Ye Xiu invited the eight inside and switched on the TV.

An old man appeared on the screen.

Ba Dao? Ye Xiu’s eyes sharpened.

He listened as Ba Dao declared, ”I am Aoki, also known as Ba Dao. Today, I issue a global announcement: I formally challenge Huang Quan. In three days, I will travel to Jin Ye City in Xuanse to cut Huang Quan down with my blade and show the world that I, Ba Dao, am the strongest of this era.”

The video then began to loop.

Ye Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

This guy isn’t coming after me, so why challenge Huang Quan? Could Ba Dao know that I am Huang Quan? Impossible! Qin Qing clearly told him I was on Qingfeng Road. So what’s the meaning of this?

Just then, Qing Luan spoke. ”We were the ones who ordered all national television stations and online platforms to broadcast the video of Ba Dao challenging you.”

”And?” Ye Xiu asked. With Ba Dao’s video playing on a loop, it’s easy to guess this is the work of the Official Family.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiu’s eyes. Ba Dao is really tired of living!

”If you came to apologize for this, you can leave. I don’t blame you,” he said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the Eight Great National Protector War Gods found seats and sat down.

Looks like they have more to say.

Ye Xiu didn’t ask, waiting for them to speak first.

Qing Luan had expected Ye Xiu to ask what was going on, but seeing him as steady as a rock, she had to take the initiative. ”Now the entire world knows that Ba Dao is challenging you.”

Ye Xiu laughed. ”Can’t you just say everything at once?”
